be the change.

it just so happens i'm not the only one going through a quarter-life crisis. like me, most of my friends have finished school, are barely getting by, and have no idea where the road they're on is taking them. while it's not an easy place to be, i'm thankful the Lord has put friends in my life to make the jump (..or treacherous climb) from here to there just a little easier. He's getting ready to take us somewhere new.. i can feel it...

...but we have to be the ones to move this time. He's been there since the beginning. and i'm certain He'll give us the grace to do just that.

open your eyes up people, and take a good look around

catch the tears fillin' up all those cracks in the ground

turn off your televisions; leave your picture perfect neighborhoods

a lot of folks out there ain't doing so good

too many of us left out in the cold

no invitations given, no welcome mats unrolled

but you can be the change you wanna see

be the hope to those whose lives are far from easy

reach out and lend a hand, share everything you can

and be the change, be the change

carry the world on your shoulders for a little while

put on someone else's shoes, and walk around

so many cups a runneth over, while so many goin' dry

there's still a lot of work to be done

a lot of wrongs to right, a lot of battles to be won

if you can be the change you wanna see

be the hope to those whose lives are far from easy

reach out and lend a hand, share everything you can

and be the change, be the change
